Don't really find any of it surprising. Those old-schoolers lived on full fat milk and steak..

I followed Reg's diet and training all through my teens and its essentially what I built my foundation on. Eggs, honey, milk and lots of meat. Reg was all about simplicity and it really worked. Guy was a big strong dense mofo too and always look huge even standing next to Arnold. He'd be rolling over in his grave if he saw what a clusterfuck bodybuilding is today.

who would today's comparison of him be?

Kind of. Reg usually, always, neglects to mention the daily amount of steroids he took/takes  - hence, my comment.   :)

Good question 240, aren't many 6'2" powerhouses in bodybuilding anymore who train purely for strength and still look good. Better off comparing him to a Marvel comics superhero build, Clark Kent maybe  ???

Well that may be, but he sure as hell wasn't a lazy ass. He lifted for himself not the fera.

Wasn't calling him on his laziness. Just his lack of (latter day) honesty.   ;)

The drug use goes without saying, obviously.

One of the more interesting diet myths came from the Saxon Brothers that were very famous back in their day, here's an except-

"
For breakfast they ate 24 eggs and 3 pounds of smoked bacon; porridge with cream, honey, marmalade and tea with plenty of sugar. At three o'clock they had dinner: ten pounds of meat was consumed with vegetables (but not much potatoes); sweet fruits, raw or cooked, sweet cakes, salads, sweet puddings, cocoa and whipped cream and very sweet tea. Supper, after the show, they had cold meat, smoked fish, much butter, cheese and beer. Following this they had a chat and at one o'clock went to bed.  " .

And their heath drink-

" The Saxons did have a "health drink" which I presume they concocted themselves. The ingredients were dark lager beer (or Dublin stout) mixed with Holland gin, the yolk of an egg and plenty of sugar. "It is a very good but strong drink" was the Saxon opinion, "but, if you are not used to it you will get dizzy very quickly." .

Maybe "Reg" had the "brains" the size of a peanut?

I've never been impressed with Park's physique. No definition,an odd looking torso that doesn't match the legs, strange looking head, including the hair. Very over rated bodybuilder.

Because he wasn't about definition and being super ripped, he was all about being big and extremely strong. A real man's build with none of that pointless underwear model nonsense.

4kgs of meat a day? doubtful

Maybe, but back in the 70"s when I started it wasn't unusual to eat AT LEAST half that or more. Eat (anything) to get big and tuna and water for a show. Harcore was back then, now it's a cake walk.

If my calculations are correct (http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-beef-porterhouse-steak-i13469) 4 kg of steak is about 8000 kcal a day from steak alone lol.

(4 kg)*(2.205 lbs/kg)*(16 oz/lb) = 141.12 oz
(141.12 oz)*(173 kcal/3 oz) = 8138 kcal

Are you saying that Reg probably had lots of much smaller sausages throughout the day for his "protein intake" instead of huge steaks?

i am insinuating that Reg Park took his time at the all-you-can-eat Dianabol buffet while also participating in various other endeavors of the bodybuilding lifestyle.

Are you saying he earned his money as a "bricklayer", like Arnold and Franco?  ::) ::)

Sure they did, bodybuilders back then were actual BODYBUILDERS, not these pansy ass, drug taking, lazy 'athletes" that call themselves "bodybuilders" today. Any pro's (current) on here feel free to chime in on this.

Fish and water for 4-6 weeks. No lie.
